The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days for The Reef in Haifa, and I’ll be straight with ya—it’s a tough stretch. There’s no surf worth paddlin’ out for; every single session in this forecast is marked as poor conditions, and the scores back that up. The first real chance to even think about a wave doesn’t show until Tuesday the 11th of August, but even then it’s tiny with a combined swell energy of just 23 (weak), a 2 ft lump from the WNW at a short 6 seconds. The wind’s a light cross-onshore, and the water’s sitting at 84°F, a touch warmer than average for this time of year—nice for a swim, not for a wave. From there, it’s day after day of the same story: small, weak swell hoverin’ between 1 ft and 3 ft, periods never crackin’ 8 seconds, and the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The breezes pick up to moderate a lot of afternoons, choppin’ things up even more. There’s a slight tease on Monday the 17th of August morning with the swell hittin’ 3 ft from the WNW—the highest of the whole run—and energy climbin’ to a still-weak 85, but the wind’s a gentle cross-onshore and the quality’s still rated poor. That’s the biggest it gets, and it’s not enough. Through to Wednesday the 26th of August, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. The Reef is a beginner-friendly beach-and-reef setup, but with this combo of small swell and onshore wind, it’s more of a lake. If you’re desperate for a splash, early mornings might have the least chop, but honestly? Nothin’ here is worth wettin’ a suit for.
Rusty.
